I Captain Walker.?The Washington
correspondence of the New York Commercial
Advertiser, gives the following interesting
account of the brave Capt. Walker,wh.)
was slain in the battle of Eiuamantla:
The death of Capt. Walker has excited
much interest here, and in the vicinity,
where he was best known. Me was an extra
ordinary man, he was mild and gentle. He
was one of those men of whom it mav be
I said that the outward appearance docs not
fully express the inward. Small in person,
retiring in manners, yet free and resolute in
his m.jde of speech, he pleased all with
whom he had intercourse (except the Mexicans.)
Few men of his age (30) probably
have been engaged m so many turbulent
scenes, lie was, of course, always expecting
death, and was not surprised when it
came.
In my observation of his personal bearing
and conversation, I have judged that he
cared less for the fame of his exploits than
(or the exciting pleasure of nrcsent siriinn i??
the midst. ol danger. H remarked to mo,
with real modesty, that his services and dan
gers in the early pait of the war had been
overrated. Men, he said had been accustomed
to exaggeration in these things. Despite
the rough and revengeful life which
he led, he cherished the quiet feelings and
affections incident to home. On his last visit
to this city, when he called on the President,
he told him thai, having first paid his
affections to his mother, he had now come to
pay hisj^pccts to him fcr his country's sake.
He vva^men intent on furnishing himsell
and his men with all possible conveniences

tructive service.
He equipped them with new Middles,
made under his own direction in this city.
He obtained an ample supply of those fatal
'revolvers.' invented by Colt for the purpo.se
of killin^m^n. His expectation of life was
as uncertain as his employment. His danger-daring
spirit was a sure passport to an
early death. He affected no military airs
when here, not a hundredth part of the importance
of a militia captain on parade ;
were citizen's dress, with a drab low crowned,
bell shaped hat, furnished with loun and
button, and lodged quietly at his brother's,
a plain, pious Methodist, a carpenter like
himself. Here many called to see the youthful
hero, and if he chanced to make his appearance
in public so as to be recognized,
the welkin rang again. Alas! his poor mother
would exchange all the shouts and all
the jjory earned by the deeds of her son,
for one warn embrace of his living form,
perhaps even of his dead one !
Extraordinary Fecundity.?The fol1
_ r
lowing jacis are communicated to us by a
gentleman of unquestioned veracity:?
Francis Kenney, now residing at the corner
of Bridge and Johnson-street, in this city,
married his wife Mary when she was 14
und he 16 years of ago. When she was
15 she had her first child ; at 17 she had
two additional children ; at IS three more ; j
at 20 she had four; at 21 she had three ; j
and at 22 years she hail two, which are now j
a few weeks old?making 15 children in i
8 years. These extraordinary facts will
probably arrest the attention of the faculty.
We should like to know how many of those 1
children are now living.? Brooklyn Star, j
When the remains of the gallant Walk- j
er were taken to Puehla, the botch of a car- ;
pentermade the cofiin too small, whereupon
IA Clinton, of Scott's company. 1st Pa., off
with his uniform, rolled up his sleeves, and
made him a coffin himself. He is a car
penler, it is slated, and is from Moyamensiug

Extent of the TTnitkd States.?
The United States have a frontier of moie
than 10,000 miles. We have a line of seacoasts
of nearly 4,000 miles, and a lake
coas'.of 1,200 milos. One ol our rivers is
twice the size of the Danube, the largest ;
river in Europe. The Ohio is 600 miles
larger than the Rhine, and the Hudson has
a navigation 120 milos longer than th?
Thames. The State of Virginia is a third i
larger than England. Ohio contains
5,130,000 acres more than Scotland?From
Maine to Ohio is further than from London
to Constantinople, and so we might go on
and fill pages, enumerating distances,rivers,
lakes, capes, and bays, with comparative
estimate of size, power, and population.

who knows the stimulating effects of tobacco?
One and all, that it proves the first
step to drunkenness. "No young man,"
says Dr. Alcott, " wbo uses tobacco* in any
shape whatever, is or can be safe. He is
apt to be thristy, and water never satisfies.
Tobacco smoking feeds the love of strong
drink in two ways?first, by creating a
jnorbid thirst, and, second, by impairing
the appetite for food and indirectly encouraging
him who uses it to seek for that
strength which food should give him in the
use of extra stimulus. Let the friends of
temperance?temperance men above all the
rest?beware of tobacco in every form.".

Boys.?Letting boys run wild in the j
streets is the ciiu.se ot'their turning out loaf- |

spoetable citizens. L5ovs' eves and ears nr?? i

a taste lor swearing, blustering, and
